On behalf of the Khmers Kampuchea-Krom Federation, we would like to sadly announce the recent passing of three dedicated Khmer Krom human rights activists. Lok Ta Koy will be fondly remembered for his dedication to the Khmer Krom cause in Long Beach, California. He was amongst the few who attended the annual protest to commemorate the Creation of the United Nations in San Francisco. In the same week, Mr. Thanh Thach, also from California was killed while at work. He will be fondly remembered for his dedication to helping out KKF. He is survived by his wife and two children. Lok Ta Truong Duc will be missed greatly by the Khmer Krom community in Massachusetts, USA and those who knew him around the world. He was an active participant in his local community and an active supporter of KKF. A funeral was held last saturday to pay tribute to Lok Ta Truong Duc.
